At the moment, I wear a SWK Thrifty in Irish National. It was affordable and I wanted to check one out (sorry to say, no I will not be ordering a Thrifty for my husband). I couldn't afford anything in a tartan that means a lot to me, and I chose Irish National because it was available and in a sense it was for my father (long story -- his health was and still is pretty bad and I wanted to get something quickly so he could see me in it -- family rumor is that at least one branch had Irish ancestors. Haven't found proof of that being the case with those ancestors, but the thought and memories are there).

When I was planning on competing in Highland Games athletics, I would have worn a kilt with kilt hose (no other accessories except garter ties to hold up the hose, understandably). We had to cancel competing this year at least due to hubby's health and focusing on some other things. (I miss those guys!)

If I get the chance to take bagpipe lessons and continue on, I will indeed wear the kilt and all the accessories as required for a uniform.

Otherwise, I do intend to get ladies' kilted skirts of various lengths. If I make myself a kilted skirt, I will have the apron open on the other side.

So, me personally? I wear a Thrifty temporarily (it sits low on my hips and I dress it up with heels or boots) and intend to get kilted skirts in various styles. I don't want to just look like I'm wearing some random fashion with plaid in it -- I most definitely want it to represent my heritage, and I won't just wear any tartan either. I'm going to carefully decide what I want (including sashes).

And when I need to, yes, I will wear the kilt as a uniform.
